Your home is your haven, and we totally get it if you’d rather spend your Friday night’s in. Why not make your space the entertainment hub that the group gathers at? The perfect addition to any basement, den or man cave is a beautifully designed (and well-stocked) wet bar! No matter what size you’re working with there are dozens of wet bar ideas to spruce up your space.
Your wet (or dry bar) can be whatever you want it to be. Whether you’re looking for a simple design or something more luxurious, make sure the bar space works for you. Do you need a sink? A fridge? Storage? Invest in a design that best suits your needs. If you’re one to entertain frequently, you’ll want the convenience of everything in one place. If you’re opting for a larger design, go with a unique mix of materials. Incorporate high-quality millwork with beautiful glass or marble components.
Gone are the days that the wet bar is confined to the basements of homes. Today, more and more homeowners are looking to host guests on the main floor or outdoors on their expansive decks. The wet bar is appropriate just about anywhere you’ll be entertaining, and can even act as the focal point of a room. Consider the placement of the wet bar for its convenience and appearance. Choose an area that is easily accessible and not already cluttered by large furniture.
Play around with different storage options. Depending on the size and design of your wet bar, you should anticipate how you’ll organize your drinks, drinkware and other items. Incorporate a wine rack, built in condiment racks, vertical pull-out cabinets for garnishes and utensils. Make sure your wet bar is efficient and easy to navigate. Contemporary cabinetry is classic, timeless and easy to dress up or down for the occasion.
Have fun with the design of your wet bar. If the bar is off a main room then you may want to consider continuing the theme of your other spaces, for a more harmonious look. If your wet bar stands on its own, have fun with the colours, materials and decor. Whether you opt for a modern, classic or vintage look, your wet bar design should feel like you.
